Explanatory Comment
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 governing the termination of
inactive cases and amended Rule of Judicial Administration 1901. Two aspects of the recommendation merit
comment.
1. Rule of civil Procedure
New Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 has been promulgated to govern the termination of inactive cases within the
scope of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The termination of these cases for inactivity was previously
governed by Rule of Judicial Administration 1901 and local rules promulgated pursuant to it. New Rule 230.2 is
tailored to the needs of civil actions. It provides a complete procedure and a uniform statewide practice, preempting
local rules.
This rule was promulgated in response to the decision of the Supreme Court in Shop v. Eagle, 551 Pa. 360,710 A.2d
1104 (1998) in which the court held that "prejudice to the defendant as a result of delay in prosecution is required
before a case may be dismissed pursuant to local rules implementing Rule of Judicial Administration 1901."
Rule of Judicial Administration 1901(b) has been amended to accommodate the new rule of civil procedure. The
general policy of the prompt disposition of matters set forth in subdivision (a) of that rule continues to be applicable.
II Inactive Cases
The purpose of Rule 230.2 is to eliminate inactive cases from the judicial system. The process is initiated by the
court. After giving notice of intent to terminate an action for inactivity, the course of the procedure is with the parties.
If the parties do not wish to pursue the case, they will take no action and "the Prothonotary shall enter an order as of
course terminating the matter with prejudice for failure to prosecute." If a party wishes to pursue the matter, he or she
will file a notice of intention to proceed and the action shall continue.
a. Where the action has been terminated
If the action is terminated when a party believes that it should not have been terminated, that party may proceed
under Rule230(d) for relief from the order of termination. An example of such an occurrence might be the termination
of a viable action when the aggrieved party did not receive the notice of intent to terminate and thus did not timely file
the notice of intention to proceed.
The timing of the filing of the petition to reinstate the action is important. If the petition is filed within thirty days of
the entry of the order of termination on the docket, subdivision (d)(2) provides that the court must grant the petition and
reinstate the action. If the petition is filed later than the thirty-day period, subdivision (d)(3) requires that the plaintiff
must make a show in to the court that the petition was promptly filed and that there is a reasonable explanation or
legitimate excuse both for the failure to file the notice of intention to proceed prior to the entry of the order of
termination on the docket and for the failure to file the petition within the thirty-day period under subdivision (d)(2).
B. Where the action has not been terminated
An action which has not been temminated but which continues upon the filing of a notice of intention to proceed may
have been the subject of inordinate delay. In such an instance, the aggrieved party may pursue the remedy of a
common law non pros which exits independently of termination under Rule 230.2.

Decree of Divorce issuing in this matter shall reflect the fact that Husband shall bear the
cost of same in his individual capacity.

b. This Agreement may be offered in evidence in the action for divorce and
may be incorporated by reference in the decree to be granted therein. Notwithstanding

23. LEGAL FEES:
In the review and preparation of this Agreement, each party shall bear his/her own
legal fees.

have the right, at his or her election, either to sue for damages for such breach, in which
event the breaching party shall be responsible for payment for reasonable legal fees and
costs incurred by the other in enforcing their rights hereunder, or to seek such other
remedies or relief as may be available to him or her.
25. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION:
It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes an
equitable distribution of property, both real and personal, which was legally and
beneficially acquired by Husband and Wife or either of them during the marriage as
contemplated by The Act of December 19, 1990 (P.L. No. 1240, No. 206) known as "The
Divorce Code," 23 P.S. 3501 et seq. of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and as
amended.
26. SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF AGREEMENT:
It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto, and
each party accepts the provisions herein made in lieu of and in full settlement and
satisfaction of any and all of said parties' rights against the other for any past, present and
future claims on account of support, maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente lite,
counsel fees, costs and expenses, equitable distribution of marital property and any other
claims of each party, including all claims raised by them in the divorce action pending
between the parties.
27. TAX CONSEQUENCES:
By this agreement, the parties have intended to effectuate and have equitably
divided their marital property. The parties have determined that such equitable division
conforms to a right and just standard with regard to the rights of each party. The division
of existing marital property is not, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein,
intended by the parties to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets and the
division is being effected without the introduction of outside funds of other property not
constituting a part of the marital estate.

Each party shall, at any time and from time to time hereafter, take any and all
steps and execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other party any and all further
instruments and/or documents that the other party may reasonably require for the purpose
of giving full force and effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
29. RECONCILIATION:
The parties shall only effect a legal reconciliation which supersedes this
agreement by their signed agreement containing a specific statement that they have
reconciled and that this agreement shall be null and void; otherwise, this agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. Further, the parties may attempt a reconciliation, which
action, if not consummated by the aforesaid agreement, shall not affect in any way the
legal effect or this agreement or cause any new marital rights or obligations to accrue.
30. SEVERABILITY:
The parties agree that the separate obligations contained in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be interdependent. If any term, clause, or provision of this Agreement shall
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then
the parties agree that the Agreement may be reviewed and renegotiated in order to fulfill
as closely as possible the purpose of the invalid provision. Notwithstanding any release
contained herein, the parties intend that they may reinstate any and all economic claims
to the extent available under the Divorce Code of 1980. Further, any court of competent
jurisdiction may, under the equitable provisions and purposes of the Divorce Code,
reinstate any economic claim which was available at the time of the parties' separation or
avoid any waiver herein contained to renegotiate or effectuate as nearly as possible the
purpose of the unenforceable provision.
31. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT:
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until terminated
under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist
upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect
the right of such party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of
any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or
similar nature, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of strict performance of any other
obligations herein.
32. INTEGRATION:
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes
any and all prior agreements and negotiations between them. There are no
representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement
shall survive integration by any court into any judgment for divorce and shall continue to
have independent legal significance as written contract separate from such judgment for
divorce and may be enforced as an independent contract.
33. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE:
The parties agree that unless otherwise specifically provided herein, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after such time as a final decree in
divorce may be entered with respect to the parties.
34. NOTICES:
Any and all notices given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent
registered mail, return receipt requested:
a. To the Husband, at 133 Newville Road, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257.
b. To the Wife, at 10247 Gehr Road, Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, 17268.
35. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING:
No modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by both parties and no waiver of any breach hereof or default
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature.
36. CAPTIONS:
The captions of this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and
for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope and intent of this
Agreement, nor in any way effect this Agreement.
37. AGREEMENT BINDING ON HEIRS:
The Agreement shall be binding and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
38. LAW OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE:
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
39. SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED PROPERTY PENALTY FOR
NONDISCLOSURE:
Should either of the parties subsequently discover the existence of any marital
property not distributed by this Agreement, said property shall be divided in the same
proportion as this Agreement's equitable distribution of marital property (50/50).
However, if the existence of said property was knowingly concealed or its value
misrepresented by one of the parties, said property shall be transferred in its entirety to
the non-concealing party and the concealing party shall pay all costs, fees, and attorney's
fees occasioned by the failure to disclose its existence or true value.
